    Scottish Framework for Responding to an Influenza Pandemic

    Influenza pandemics are natural phenomena which have occurred three times in the last century. Their severity has ranged from something similar to seasonal influenza to a major threat, with many millions of people worldwide becoming ill and a proportion of these dying. No country can expect to escape the impact of a pandemic entirely, and when it arrives most people are likely to be exposed to an increased risk of catching the virus at some point. Managing the impact of an influenza pandemic therefore presents us with unique and difficult challenges if we are to save lives and keep our society running. Planning to deal with the consequences of a pandemic is critical and this framework sets out the Scottish Government's approach.
